25 years in the bag and not without surprises. Just a minute from starting the show and the power in the building goes out. For over 20 minutes. I'm serious, you can't make this shit up! So I almost took the hint and postponed the show, I mean why make the big guy even angrier! lol
So the show was a little shorter in length and about 5 tracks I wanted to play didn't get played. But we start the next 25 years next Saturday night! I'll probably save those missed 5 tracks for a Mixtape Memories segment.
Hope you enjoyed the show. I want to thank Scott for being my partner in crime and starting the show 25 years ago. Probably wouldn't have done it by myself. I want to thank all the listeners who came along on some musical trips with us over the years. It if it wasn't for you, the show wouldn't have lasted a year. Thanks everyone! Family, friends, bands, labels and of course the listeners!

Hope you enjoyed last night's show as we closed out CJAM Radio Brain Drain week long tribute to punk.
It was an encore performance of last year's contribution.
Join us Saturday night for our 25th Anniversary celebration.

Had I not been going to The Church wsg The Psychedelic Furs and had it not been CJAM's special tribute to punk rock Radio Brain Drain week, these are some of the tracks that would have been featured. With next week being the 25th Anniversary show these tracks wouldn't get any attention on the show for 2 more weeks. So let's collect them here and have a listen like you would on the radio.

That's just some of the singles. Now throw in a handful of albums that crossed the desk as well. Some of them long awaited debuts and album of the year contenders.

Since this last Monday was the anniversary of Tony Wilson's death we open with the brilliant new tribute single.
We extend the tribute to the Mixtape segment as well featuring tracks from Factory Records in honour of it's founder.

Programming note; next week Cowboy & Indies will have a special guest host as it takes part of CJAM's Radio Brain Drain week long history of punk celebration.
We'll return on the 29th for the 25th anniversary show. Hope you'll join us!

About Me

For over 20 years, Cowboys & Indies has been the home of the British Indie and Alternative scene for the Windsor/Detroit area. Hosts Marc & Scott, veterans of local record stores, decided that it was time to bring the British Indie/Alternative sound to the masses. Each week we strive to play the very best in the British Alternative and Independent music scene. Most of our featured music is comprised of imports and domestic items as well as music from our own collections and currents from the on-air studio. Each week we preview new releases and an upcoming album in The LP Session. We also take listener requests.
